Increasing reuse opportunities is a well-known problem for software designers as well as for hardware designers. Nonetheless, current software and hardware engineering practices h...
Abstract. Design pattern formalization is aimed at encouraging the use of design patterns during the design phase. Many approaches focuses on providing solutions with a graphical n...
Design patterns encode proven solutions to recurring design problems. To use a design pattern properly, we need to 1) understand the design problem the pattern resolves, 2) recogn...
We study the effort needed for designing Web applications from an empirical point of view. The design phase takes an important part of the overall effort needed to develop a Web a...
This paper presents a new design assistant for analog integrated circuits. The interactive tool is implemented in the Design Framework II of Cadence and supports the designer d...
